  2. 1. Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Wastewater-Associated Aquatic Environments

    Author : Faisal Ahmad Khan; Jana Jass; Bo Söderquist; Ann-Sofie Rehnstam-Holm; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance evolution; ESBL; Klebsiella; Multidrug; VIM;

    Abstract : The emergence of carbapenem resistance due to the carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes (carbapenemases) in Enterobacteriaceae has led to limited therapeutic options. The increased resistance to these “last-resort” antibiotics is fueled by overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture. READ MORE

  4. 2. Antibiotic resistance gone wild : A One Health perspective on carriage, selection and transmission of Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporinase- and Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

    Author : Clara Atterby; Josef D. Järhult; Nicola Williams; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; E. coli; K. pneumoniae; ESBL; AmpC; Carbapenemase; ciprofloxacin resistance; colistin resistance; rural; wildlife; birds; sub-MIC; MSC; Cambodia; environment; epidemiology; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they came into clinical use during the Second World War in the 1940s. Today, our effective use of antibiotics is under great threat due to emerging antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This thesis addresses the problems of antibiotic resistance from a ”One Health” perspective. READ MORE

  5. 3. Novel diagnostic methods for rapid characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

    Author : Muhammad Humaun Kabir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are two of the most clinically important pathogens of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Both can cause severe infections includ-ing urinary tract infections (UTI), bloodstream infections (BSI) and pneumonia. Both are also involved in dissemination of antibiotic resistance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Bloodstream infections with ESBL-producing Enterobacterales : prediction, rapid diagnosis and molecular epidemiology

    Author : Inga Fröding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a threat to public health worldwide. Particularly, the increase of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EPE) is a significant clinical problem. ESBLs confer resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenemases confer resistance to carbapenems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli : multidrug-resistance and different aspects of invasive infections

    Author : Malin Vading; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are pathogens belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They can cause infections ranging from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to severe bloodstream infection (BSI). READ MORE
